Manor Farm Cottage And The Thatched Cottage

Manor Farm Cottage and the Thatched Cottage is a farmhouse that has been converted into two cottages. It dates from the 17th century and was extended in the 18th century. The building features whitewashed roughcast rendered rubble at the ends and cob, topped with a wheat-reed thatched roof that is hipped to the right and half-hipped to the left. There are rubble stacks at the left gable end, and massive axial stacks, both with drip courses, along with a lateral stack to the right that has been heightened in brick. The original layout was likely a small three-cell plan with a cross passage, and a bay was added at the lower end. The structure is two storeys high and has a four-window range of two-light timber casements with glazing bars, along with a 20th-century window at the lower end. There are 19th or early 20th-century two-light and three-light casements, each with two panes per light, flanking a 20th-century door and a small four-paned window at the upper end above the stack. Inside, there is a chamfered and stopped beam, and the lateral fireplace has been blocked in. At the rear, there is an outshut that is partly thatched at the lower end, with the rest covered in pantiles. The roof has not been inspected.
